But it feels to me like the first O in "Tomatoes" should have the "splat" in it. The old logo had three different O's; the new logo should have fixed that by bringing the total number of variations down to two.

Well, in this day and age of oversimplified and cloned logos, I would say that this is pretty good. It maintains the character of the original without using overbearing elements, and also still fits a more current model of design. Very well done.

I'm guessing they wanted the negative icon in "Rotten" and the positive icon in "Tomatoes"

If I try too hard to think about why they are named "Rotten Tomatoes" my head starts to hurt. You throw rotten tomatoes at someone as a way of showing you didn't like their performance right? But what about ripe tomatoes? I feel like you could also throw a nice new tomato at someone. But if a movie is "certified fresh" it's like they're saying the movie is a really good tomato and therefore not good for heckling.
